Bizzarrini 5300 GT Competizione

The Automobile

In 1965 a Bizzarrini 5300 GT won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing ninth overall — a small Italian workshop beating the resources of entire factories.

The 5300 GT Competizione was Giotto Bizzarrini's answer to a question he had carried since his years at Ferrari and Iso: what does a front-engined competition berlinetta look like when nothing is conceded to comfort or convention? The engine sits so far back it is effectively mid-front mounted; the driving position is reclined like a prototype's; the body — hammered and riveted in thin alloy — exists only to cut through the air at Le Mans speeds.

The Millechiodi continuation honours that car without softening it. Each example is built on a competition-specification chassis with the riveted alloy body that gave the project its name, assembled by Italian artisans using the geometry and methods of the originals. The result is not an interpretation of the 5300 GT Competizione: it is the next chassis in a story that was interrupted, never concluded.

The vision for this continuation is precise — a strictly limited series, each commission followed personally from specification to delivery, in partnership with Scuderia Grifo Bizzarrini as custodian of Giotto's legacy.
